I didn't read Harry Potter until I was 14, lol. I only got the Philosopher's Stone because that version is hard to find in my country, usually it's called Sorcerer's Stone.
Weird reason I know, but I eventually read it and surprisingly enjoyed it. It was a lot more light hearted than I expected and remains my favorite Harry Potter boo

But I can't stand Deathly Hallows at all and still haven't watched the final movie because

Spoiler:

Nearly every character I like died, and I'm just not ready to see that trauma onscreen.

What particular do you not like about the movies? Is it the casting, the translation from page to screen, the plot, the way it's directed? Interested to hear! (:

Except the casting and directing(i won't comment anything about directing.) the other things disappoint me.I know I am not being realistic but I seriously don't think the movies live up to the standard of the books.I know that it is not possible to completely depict the contents of a book in a movie. But I think there was more scope for a film to be based on the harry potter series.The films are good but they lack the WOW moment for me.

Also I absolutely got pissed off when I saw that they had altered the ending where harry kills Voldy. I wanted to see them in the way as was described in the book.I wanted to see harry throw the truth at voldy while they were circling each other in the great hall.I wanted to see the fear on volemort's face when harry tells him to try for some remorse.But no what I got was harry grabbing voldy and both diving down and fighting like muggles.

These are my thoughts.Anybody can feel free to contradict me if they don't think so.

Always a tough question for me because there are so many great characters I adore in the series. I think it's funny how the main trio never gets enough love when people talk about their favorites (or maybe it just goes without saying), so first of all, I definitely love Harry, Ron and Hermione.

And as you can maybe tell from my current theme, the Weasley twins are also among my favorites. Not just because they're hilarious and witty in the books (not enough screen time in the films imo), but I think it's really admirable how lighthearted they can be no matter how bad the situation is, and I love how they always try to cheer everyone up even in the darkest of times.

I actually think Luna is overrated. To me she was relatively minor and didn't even come in until the fifth book. And this is coming from a Ravenclaw. I actually don't like any of the female characters except perhaps McGonagall.

I was introduced with the first book actually. I've read that and some of the second book, then I moved on to the movies. I wasn't really a reader way back when, but it was partly the books and partially the movies

What got you interested in Harry Potter in the first place?
Since I was 7-8 years old I had always heard the name of harry potter.At that time I wasn't interested in it.But recently 4 years back I got hand of the first part of the book.I loved it so much that since then I have never given up a chance of laying my hands on a harr potter book.

JK Rowling basically just announced that a new PLAY - Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - will be opening in London next year. It is NOT a prequel and she said we will understand why it isn't a novel when we see it! I'm excited.

Not a prequel?! Ooh this is really interesting news, thanks for sharing. Jealous of those who are in London!

Did anyone see/hear about the recent info on Pottermore where we learnt a bit more about the Dursleys' backstory and why they hate Harry so much? What do you guys think about it?
